Figure-1: Monthly Crude Oil Production
Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall are as under:
-
- Crude oil production by ONGC  in nomination block during March 2022 was 1681.60 TMT, which is 12.62% lower than target of the month and 1.84% lower when compared with production of March 2021. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-March, 2021-22 was 19451.23 TMT, which is 13.82% and 3.62% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- Less than anticipated production from WO-16 cluster due to delay in mobilization of MOPU Sagar Samrat.
- Less oil production in NBP field due to shutdown taken for mandatory inspections of FPSO for class certification.
- Less condensate receipt at Hazira due to less gas production from B&S Asset.
-
- Crude oil production by OIL  in the nomination block during March 2022 was 257.43 TMT, which is 3.13% higher when compared with production of March 2021 but 17.34% lower than target of the month. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-March 2021-22 was 2986.84 TMT, which is 1.68% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year but 10.17% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- Less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.
- Less than planned due to local disturbance & miscreants activities in main producing area .
-
- Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies in the PSC/RSC regime during March 2022 was 587.07 TMT, which is 9.78% lower than the target of the reporting month and 9.88% lower than the month production of March 2021. Cumulative crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies during April-March 2021-22 was 7252.71 TMT, which is 6.03% and 1.64% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- MB/OSDSF/B80/2016 : Delay in commencement of production. Troubleshooting of operational issues for safe start-up in progress.
- RAVVA : Shortfall due to lower performance and injectivity issues of wells RD-3ST and RD-6ST.
- CB-ONN-2004/2 : Production shortfall due to less evacuation to IOCL due to leakage and choking in ONGC pipeline.
- CB-OS/2 : Production shortfall is due to natural decline and increase in water cut observed in aquifer supported pools and recent sanding/loading issues in the wells. Also, delay in drilling campaign
- Production of Natural Gas
Natural gas production during March 2022 was 2886.23 MMSCM, which is 7.46% higher than the production of March 2021 but 15.49% lower than the monthly target. Cumulative natural gas production during April-March 2021-22 was 34023.52 MMSCM, which is 18.66% higher than production during corresponding period of last year but 9.65% lower when compared with target for the period. Unit-wise and state-wise natural gas production is given at Annexure-II. Unit-wise natural gas production for the month of March 2022 and cumulatively for April-March 2021-22 vis-à-vis same period of last year has been shown in Table-2 and month-wise in Figure-2.

3.1 CPSE Refineries’ crude oil processed during March 2022 was 13721.53 TMT, which is 3.74% lower than target for the month but 6.85% higher than the production of March 2021. Cumulative crude throughput during April-March 2021-22 was 13721.53 TMT which is 8.30% higher than corresponding period of last year but 3.64% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- IOCL-Panipat Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to high TAN  crude processing.
- HPCL-Mumbai Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to unplanned shutdown of primary crude processing units.
- HPCL, Visakh Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to deferment of commissioning of new Crude Distillation Unit .
- NRL-Numaligarh Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to shutdown of Delayed Coker Unit .
3.2 JV refineries’ crude oil processed during March 2022 was 1795.78 TMT, which is 19.24% higher than the target for the month and 10.36% higher than the production of March 2021.

-
- Production of Petroleum Products during March 2021 was 241555.17 TMT, which is 3.26% higher target for the month and 5.80% higher than the production of March 2021. Cumulative production during April-March, 2021-22 was 254313.46 TMT, which is 1.81% and 8.91% higher than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Unit-wise production of petroleum products is given at Annexure-V. Company-wise production for the month of March 2021-22 and cumulatively for April-March, 2021 vis-à-vis same period of last year has been shown in Table-4 and month-wise in Figure-4.
